Interesting video! One slight correction, though: In my country, there are a lot of women with dark hair who have freckles all over their face/body. My relatives look like that, too. It's not a contradiction to have dark hair, pale skin and *freckles.* 😊

[@ajujuadoidoi]

Do you have any videos on contrast loss through aging? I am a +1 coloration and I'm starting to go grey at my temples. I'm planning on letting my hair be natural. How does this change the way I look and is it important to know when your contrast has shifted to another category?

[@MH-ys2gd]

so im definitley a -1 contrast, i have blond eyelashes and blond eyebrows (but i dye them softbrown/taupe), ive had platinum whitish blond hair as a kid, over time it turned into medium blond(between level 8 and 9), very ashy, with natural light silvery blond highlights around the face. my hair is also very fine and sleek in texture. my skin used to be super pale, but it gained some color the last years. so my complexion fits in with the other -1 examples. im definitley cool in coloration, very ashy dull hair naturally, and my eyes are dark blue, clear blue with a dark circle around it, which makes them appear dark blue in most lightings. too light hair washes me out, orangey/reddish/yellowish tones as well. ive had basically every hair color, and for the longest time i was fixiated on blond, platinum and ginger haircolors (still a sucker for strawberry blond, but it does not suit me...), but ive dyed it dark for the last 5 years. ive had black hair before, and it does not suit me, and is so much effort, since the blond roots growing back look as if im balding from far away. i dye my hair in level 5 and 6 haircolors, it appears very dark against my skin, but it makes my eyes look so blue...and gives me the contrast i lack naturally. in comparsion, with light ash blond or platinum hair, my eyes looked super dark, you couldnt tell they are blue unless you came really close. suprisingley, with the darkbrown hair (it looks dark brown against my complexion), i dont need much more then some lipliner/liptint, dyed eyebrows, and mascara, maybe a bit eyeliner. but clothe wise, i stick to lighter colors. it makes my skin look much clearer then blond hair does, so to me it is perfect. suprisingley, people liked black hair on me, but without make up i felt like a ghost, and with make up kind of like a 2008 emo girl. so, those are my two cents !

aissani imane hey, dark hair and brown eyes have advantages too; there’s something being developed which can change brown eyes to any other colour using lasers to remove outer layers of brown melanin to get the desired colour. However once done it is permanent and can’t be performed again. Also if you really want blonde hair, bleach your dark hair and maybe dye it... but why would you want to give up your beautiful natural colour? Same goes with the eyes; if they suit you, don’t change them.

She on point tho👌

[@rdpcl]

I'm Warm and Soft (Dull, Muted) and my hair is dark brown with reddish reflections. During college I tried a jet black dye and was really surprised that it looked so weird and separate; I assumed being a Latina it would suit me. Now when I dye my hair, I choose softer hues.

[@danna594]

[@unrulycrow6299]

Same, I have a very pale skin so it can be deceptive, but I have a neutral-warm undertone (yellow/olive, I'm Mediterranean) and a soft skintone. Bright colours such as venetian blond and stark contrasts like black really don't work for me because of that. I need more muted, ashen tones. If I were to pick a coloured wig now (I don't feel like dying my hair anymore), I'd pick pastel tones for that reason as well, because they have that muted tone that'd match my skintone better than brighter colours. Hell my natural hair has an ashen, reddish-chestnut tone, that's a major give away.

I guess very dark brown or black hair can suit anyone. It's just a matter of how much you need to work to pull it off. Maybe do a bit more makeup, maybe change completely the color palette of your makeup and clothes, maybe tan a bit or use bronzer/blush/lipstick, eye shadow / eyeliner etc.

There’s also a part of this that’s how you FEEL in lighter hair. Sometimes people feel better with a certain color (ie. It just aligns more with their personality). So, to answer your question....I’ve personally had clients that I thought looked better with their hair a bit lighter than their natural....I’ve also had clients that I thought looked better a bit darker than their natural. Hope that helps a little. :)

I naturally have blue black hair but I have a warm olive complexion. It clashes and the black washes me out. I’m being dying and bleaching my hair for years and every hairstylist has told me that warm tone hair suits me better.

[@Dan_Chiron]

I'm +1 contrast, bright complexion and I tried the jet black when I was younger... It was a total fail because, as my skin is tan, there is a slight undetectable green undertone that the black brought out. I looked tired and liveless. So, as you said, I can wear the deepest brown, but never a midnight blue black color.

[@divyasaxena3082]

I am Indian and in Indian standard, i'm fair. I have type 1 fine textures glossy hair that is dark brown colored. My hair on arms face eyebrows are not that dark, but kindof dark brownish and I dont look prominent in photos but yes I look bright. I can wear neon colors and any high contrast colors. But i have notices that muted colors or deep colors dont suit me at all.But people compliment me when i color my hair. It never stands out and blends beautifully with my face and skin. My brows i can do light brown still it suits me and brightens up my face. I have tried golden brown on hair and it becomes quite light for Indian skin tone but it blends well and looks like it grows like that from root. So after this video i realized that i can confidently color my hair even lighter. :)

I dyed my hair black as a teenager when I was in my goth phase. I'm a zero contrast level with bright blue eyes and medium brown hair with natural highlights. I also have freckles. Black looked really flat on me and made my skin sallow. It did a great job of emphasizing the circles under my eyes. At the time, I didn't care because I was wearing white foundation anyway to achieve my goth aesthetics. I really couldn't go out without makeup until the color faded into a deep reddish brown. After that, it was fine. I would never try to go black again. I've found that when I want to look like I have black hair for a costume I can use a warm dark brown wig and the contrast is enough to give the right look. It doesn't become obvious that it's not black until I put true black right next to it.

I agree with what you said about black hair not working out for people with yellow undertone and very dark brown eyes, as soon as i dyed it very dark brown instead of pure black, my appearance harmonized

[@ladybluelotus]

I find that their are different types of black: ashy-blacks, rich-blacks, blue-blacks, brown-blacks and reddish-blacks. I have clear, cool, medium brown skin with rich, very solid dark brown eyes. I'm a plus 2 contrast girl with naturally black hair. Reddish-black looks best on me, and blue-blacks or ashy-blacks are too harsh for my skin tone and make me look ill. As best as I can tell, hair colors have to be clear enough to compliment my skin, or rich enough to compliment my eyes, but not heavy enough to drown my romantic features. Also not too light. In this case, because my skin is a medium brown any mid-toned brown would be too light as it would remove my natural contrast.

[@auburrito5168]

I am probably in the +1 or +2 categories and I have been dyeing my hair black for at least ten years now. It makes my skin look clearer and I feel like it gives me an edge that my natural color just doesn't give me. Recently I've been wanting to see my natural color just to see what it looks like now and have even grown out my roots about an inch. My natural color is the same as it was when I was younger, a dark brown with a lot of gold in it and I remember it always made my skin look so ruddy and uneven. Maybe I should just stick to dyeing it.

[@TanyaScherbakova]

I had a light beige hair (8 level) and I hated how mousy I looked sometimes. So when I turned my hair black my entire coloring changed. It was like I put something missing in my look. No one ever thought that I was a fake brunette. And I tried to get back to beige hair and then I could compare my looks. So I looked a lot more ordinary, something was missing again. I decided to try different natural colors and nothing worked that great as black, not even dark brown. So, I think maybe my complexion is clear, my skin is light, but I avoid the sun to make it lighter, my eyes have some green, yellow and blue colors and I could call them bright. And when I put black hairdye I just become high contracted and clear. And yeah, of course I dye my eyebrows and put makeup. I never liked natural looks or no makeup looks... so no problem with that. But if I’m lazy I can just wear foundation and put some brow product on my face and I look great even with this minimal makeup.

[@mamaboocee]

Makeup artists need to take a class from you, because you are so right about it all. Another great video! Welcome to the USA! Glad you are here safe! Also, I tended to stay away from brown haircolr because they always have a red cast, which looks brassy. I have light blue eyes and now have decided not to cover my grey hair - and it works! My eyes pop, my skin tone looks healthy. Very little makeup looks so much more attractive. I wonder what guys think of a girl who has a slick of foundation and thick red lipstick topped with eyes that have so many different eyeshadow colors that its confusing. All I could think is "will all that makeup wipe off on me?". Lol, natural look is best and most attractive with very little makeup.

My mom has super small and dainty facial feautures. For a long time she had either bobs or pixie cuts rocking her natural hair color, which is black. But this year she decided to embrace her silver grays and she looks AMAZING. Funny thing is that her subtle wrinkles are less noticeable now, she looks even younger! Light hair soften her already soft features, she almosts looks ingenue now.

[@KetzalLara]

I'm warm w soft skin. Once dyed my hair almost black because I confused the shade of the dye and it looked really weird on me

[@cocoacoolness]

So i am probably in the zero category, my skin is very ashy and warm. My skin is usually quite pale unless i tan, and my hair is naturally a medium-dark brown. I had black hair for a long time and it made my eyes look like they'd disappear into my face without eyeliner, my brows were fine, and i felt like i always needed to wear a heap of blush so my skin didnt look dead. In winter it was fine because i had no tan and it made me look less warm and more clear, but the second i got the skightest tan (most would say i still have no tan) my skin is too warm. However, it seems all makeup for pale skin is bright pink so foundation helped a lot too.

[@MrGhirbo]

03:37 Dark hair doesnt reflect much light, so ur cheeks appear darker, its kind of like contouring. 05:15 Dark hair can put some attention on the shadows of ur face, especially if ur face is with more proeminent bones/features. This might look good or bad., it depends for everyone.

What you mentioned about ashy skin (like many of us olive skinned) is so true. Black is the absolutely worst color for us. I have dark brown hair but I do ashy blonde highlights and gives so much needed light to the face!

I think I must be kind of strange then because my hair (you can see on my photo) is naturally very very dark brown.

However when I tried to go lighter years ago, I looked so weird and not good. My hair dyes black though looked good and I kept it black for years because it was like one shade darker than my natural colour.

Calm Meadows hey, you might have missed the part about shape briefly mentioned. With natural hair it’s more about shape and silhouette. It’s about the curl pattern (eg doing a small twist out leads to smaller coils, good for romantics and softer types) and more importantly, the overall shape of the hair. If you’re yang, you want striking geometrics in the shape of your natural hair. If you’re yin, you want rounded hair. Us being missing is just an unfortunate matter of systematic lack of representation
